Even the slow Toyota Prius C hybrid comes in at 99 hp.Ī 5-speed manual gearbox is standard, with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) as a $1,200 option. That’s less than any other vehicle sold in the U.S.
The 3-cylinder 1.2-liter engine in the Mirage produces just 78 horsepower and 74 pound-feet of torque. It loses points for very slow acceleration, lack of reserve power for emergency situations, and its uncontrolled behavior at highway speeds. We give the Mirage 1 out of 10 possible points for performance, the lowest rating we’ve given any car. The 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage is not a pleasant car to drive if you find yourself having to travel on high-speed highways as well as in city and suburban traffic.
Even the driver’s elbows rest on hard-plastic door armrests. The seat fabrics, plastic textures, and general appearance can only be described as basic. The instrument cluster has two gauges, the radio and ventilation knobs are large and straightforward, and a floor console offers what little storage exists. Inside, hard plastics abound and the entire design of the cabin is a mix of extremely simple and straightforward-which is good-and economy-car minimal, which isn’t.
Overall, this is a car that’s dwarfed by a full-size pickup truck but makes little effort to appear solid or substantial. The sedan shares the awkward high trunk and heavy rear end of the Ford Fiesta sedan, similarly adapted from a car originally designed and mostly sold only as a hatchback.īoth body styles have small wheels-14-inch on the base ES model, 15-inch alloys otherwise-that sit deep inside large openings, giving it a top-heavy and somewhat tippy look. From the rear, the hatchback has some old Nissan Versa lines in the tailgate and lights. The Mirage got a new front end with an actual grille last year, which helped it look less like a child’s toy, but it’s still remarkably generic and almost invisible on the road. We rate it at 3 points out of a possible 10 for design and styling, subtracting one point for the awkward lines of the sedan’s tail and trunk and another for its tippy visual appearance of small wheels deep inside large openings. Its sheet metal is wrapped around seats for four (the nominal capacity of five won’t work for North American-sized people) with a few flourishes added to what’s otherwise an anodyne shape. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.The 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage is a tall box on small wheels that proves to have more space inside than you might expect. N/A indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. Our subscribers provide great insights into their satisfaction by answering one simple question: If they had it to do all over again, would they definitely buy or lease the same model? In addition, respondents also rate their cars in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio, and climate systems. To learn about satisfaction, CR has collected survey data from our annual survey on more than half a million vehicles. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year. Based on this data and further analysis, we predict reliability for the latest year. Extra weight is given to the more serious areas such as major engine or transmission problems. The results are presented relative to the average model that year. Consumer Reports subscribers reported on any serious problems they had with their vehicles during the past 12 months that they considered serious because of cost, failure, safety, or downtime, in any of the trouble spots included in the table below. The reliability charts are based on responses on hundreds of thousands of vehicles from our latest Annual Auto Survey.
